      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high-speed networking for balanced database and web serving workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c5n.2xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance powered by an Intel Xeon 8124M processor running at 3.4 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores and is paired with 21.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance features a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show average performance in single-core compute, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though multi-core scaling and LLM inference speeds are relatively weak. Qualitatively, the instance provides a cost-effective option for network-bound compute workloads that do not require high-density local storage. It is well-suited for static web serving, software compilation, Redis deployments, and moderate database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.47Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
